Sure--you leave it for someone else--so they end up lucky and you are still wishing you hadn't passed that horse up. It's similar to the silly notion that the small horse isn't going to make a Saturday afternoon-type runner. I love hearing people say that nonsense and then turning around and watching the little horse win. More often than not, the little horse body puts it together faster. Their knees close earlier, they have less weight to pack around, etc. Look at Mine That Bird--little May foal. Throw out the Kentucky Derby, and he's still carrying a nice record--and a Sovereign Award. I also often hear that people don't want to breed to the smaller stallions because of their size.

FROM THE DESK OF... Bill Oppenheim FRENCH REPEL RAIDERS A week after Sea the Stars, Galileo=s half-brother by Cape Cross, and Sheikh Hamdan=s Giant=s Causeway filly Ghanaati tasted Classic glory in Newmarket=s Guin- eas races, the French versions took place last Sunday at Longchamp. In both races, the G1 Poule d=Essai des Poulains for colts and the G1 Poule d=Essai des Pouliches for fillies, both winners, and three of the first four places in each race (both before and after Naaqoos=s disqualification from third to sixth in the colts= race), were filled by French-trained three-year- olds. Combined with a very successful two-year-olds-in- training sale put on by Arqana at Saint-Cloud the previ- ous day (moved back from mid-April), French racing seems to have turned around a decline which saw them slump to third, behind Britain and Ireland, among the three European powerhouse countries in racing and breeding. The French are back. In the Poulains (a.k.a. the French 2000 Guineas for colts), the winner was Silver Frost, a colt from Verglas= first Irish crop after he was moved to the Irish National Stud from France. Winner of the 1998 G3 (now G2) Coventry S. at two at Royal Ascot, he=s been a suc- cessful sire of precocious two-year-olds since his first crop raced in 2003 (he=s also had two graded stakes In the , the Rouget-trained Le Havre (Noverre) winners in America, Blackdoun and Ozone Bere), but his upset heavily favored Naaqoos (Oasis Dream), who only previous Group 1 winner in his five French crops locked up the French two-year-old championship last was 2006 G1 Prix Jean Prat winner Stormy River. year with an impressive win in the G1 Jean-Luc Verglas himself is from the Grey Sovereign sire line, by Lagadare, the former Grand Criterium.
